This page provides usage and release notes for the xlnx-config snap. The xlnx-config snap can be found in the Canonical Snap Store at https://snapcraft.io/xlnx-config.

In Ubuntu 22.04, a xlnx-config has been updated with 22.04-specific changes. Therefore, it’s required to have two different versions of xlnx-config for use 20.04 and 22.04.

For 22.04, users should install the 2.x “track” (--channel=2.x) from the snap store. This is now set to the default version if no channel is specified.
For 20.04, users should install the 1.x track (--channel=1.x)

A key difference between the two versions is that the 2.x version does not include the xmutil or dfx-mgr utilities. These are provided as pre-installed debian packages in 22.04.
